Actually I quit smoking 2 years ago. It was very unhealthy for me, I did it because I choose too, and it did calm me down, but the smell of the smoke became a little to much afterwards. I just could not stand it and I knew I had to stop, so I did. I quit cold turkey and got into graphics and design, this was better for me, because now I'm addicted to art. Better than being addicted to something that can ruin your health and kill you.

i heard once that people when you are anxious you need to do something like eating, having coffee, bitting nails, eating paper or smoking. It seems that putting things in the mouth is a great way to release tension - by the way I used to eat paper. That's may be the reason children put everything in their mouths because they are anxious about all the world around them.

I asked my smoker friends why they smoke, all of them said it's because its very relaxing and it relieves stress. That's their reason why they smoke. They asked me why I don't, my reason is because I really hate the smell of it. Aside from the fact that you could really die from using it! Just read the warning on the pack... i still don't get it why people choose to ignore it! So that's it, simple reasons why people smoke.

I only rarely smoke like 2 times only in a year, I smoke in the club/bar only (its kinda like go with the flow when people are doing it in the club/bar) but my hubby wants me to not smoke anymore coz he has bad impressions of girls smoking. So, I quite! There are some things we need to do for our loved ones. I know its for my own good also so its really ok with me.
